rumour has it that he has taken a pay cut, forgone his signing on fee from everton and his loyalty bonus from spurs just to come back here - thats what i call desire to play for this club. (even if he did leave just to realise this). I doubt certain other players would do anything like that for this club.

Steven Pienaar is a full-time Everton player again after the 30 year-old put pen to paper on what is believed to be a new four-year deal at Goodison Park. The South African underwent a medical earlier ahead of a £4.5m transfer from Tottenham Hotspur .His agent, Rob Moore, released a photograph of him inking his new contract, sealing a return to Goodison for the midfielder two and a half months after his emotional farewell after the Newcastle game.

4 year deal

i thought it was a bit long as well

Fuck me we've been well stitched up there. He's got a couple of seasons left in him, so essentially we're paying double bubble. And a four and half million premium that we won't see back, cos he'll have no resale value at the age of 32.

Great to have him back, but if Sky have got it right we've been done over badly.

I know that there are question marks over his age, fee and wages but we looked so much better when he came back last season so I am made up. I actually think he could help us to a top 6 finish this season and see European football back at Goodison next season. Pienaar returning could also make the difference in keeping Leighton Baines and that is vitally important to our season.

I agree with all of that. Pienaar is a great creative hardworking player - clearly a typical Moyes type of player. He might have more or less zero sell on value, but it's not like we paid $10M+ for him.
